Multidisciplinary treatment of follicular thyroid carcinoma with hepatic and pulmonary metastases: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To determine the clinical diagnostic features, molecular basis, and comprehensive treatment strategies for a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) with hepatic and pulmonary metastases that developed 8 years after surgery for a Follicular Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential (FT-UMP), and to provide a basis for long-term follow-up and individualized treatment of such borderline tumors. Background: FTC is the second most common subtype of differentiated thyroid cancer. Currently, the diagnosis and management of distant FTC metastases remain a critical challenge, particularly when they occur in rare locations, such as the liver. Case presentation: This article reports the case of a 56-year-old male patient. Within 8 years after the resection of the well-differentiated follicular neoplasm of FT-UMP, a single mass in the lateral lobe of the left liver and multiple nodules in both lungs were detected in the patient. Following a multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion, the decision was made to perform a robot-assisted hepatectomy. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of FTC metastasis. Subsequently, we formulated a comprehensive treatment plan including total thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy with Conclusions: This case highlights that for patients with FT-UMP, continuous monitoring is also crucial for the early detection of metastasis. In complicated cases with liver and lung metastases from FTC, MDT collaboration is essential to formulate individualized treatment plans integrating multidisciplinary expertise and multimodal therapies.
